I mean… they’ve always been third rate. But it’s delightful to have it displayed for all the world to see.

A third rate army is sitting on 20% of Ukraine. It's hard to imagine what a second rate army would have been able to do, or, god forbid, a first-rate one!

Well I guess we’ll never know, since Russia really sucks at this.

And that is Ukraine's good luck. Actually, it's Ukraine's super good luck that it was Russia that attacked it. If it was attacked by, say, some obscure Eastern European state like Moldova or Montenegro, all it would get would be some phd types on PBS digging up twelfth century battles and historical details of things no one cares about. Also, this program would have the viewership of maybe twelve people, including family members of these phd types. And if it was, like Niger attacking Chad, well not a single white person would care. But since it is Russia, the country the West decided it will hate because it simply refuses to be led, Ukraine is getting pummeled, yes, but it's also getting tons of sympathy points, and once the war is over, it will get tons of aid. So, there is the silver lining. Just like it was Palestinians' good luck to be oppressed by Israel, and not, say, Yemen. Because Arabs oppressed by other Arabs get bubkes by way of Western attention or sympathy.

WTH. People hate Russia because they've got nukes and they threaten to use them.
And they bomb the daylight out of other countries (Syria, anyone?) Nice white washing.

If you're American, you have no grounds to blame other countries for bombing the daylight out of anything, since America does this with abandon.

Russia still beats us at that by a mile. One doesn't have to think of the US as without fault to realize that Russia is top of the class in that regard.

LOL no it doesn't.

Count American and American-led military invasions in the last 20 years. Now count Russia-led ones. Compare two numbers.

Count the casualties in #1. Now count the casualties in #2. Compare two numbers.

Now, count the number of American military bases around the world. Now, count the Russian ones. Compare two numbers.

Why don’t you provide the data? Can’t do math?

Crimea, Donbass, Transnistria, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Nagorno Karabash, Chad, Mali, Central African Republic, Syria.

This year alone theyve threatened to invade the UK, Finland, Poland, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Romania, Bulgaria as well.

But why limit it to 20 years. How many years out of the past 200 has Moscovy been peaceful towards their neighbors?

If we’re going back years then England takes the cake.

Colonizer devils that terrorized worldwide.

Maybe but they've at least learned from their past and reformed. Muscovy and its successor states, the USSR and Russia, just double down on the oppression and aggression each time they change.

The list of countries that have started a war of territorial expansion since WW2 is very small. China with Tibet, Iraq with Kuwait, Indonesia with East Timor, and Russia with Ukraine on multiple occassions as well as Moldova, Georgia, and Azerbaijan.

One of these things is not like the other.

A person who can't spell Artzakh should not be opining on geopolitics.

Or someone who has selective amnesia about Iraq, Lybia, the Balkans or the entire South American continent.

Tell me, do you pronounce Iraq as Eye-Rack?

That's not how it's spelled in english buddy. That's also not how Libya is spelled.

Name the last US or Western war of territorial expansion.

Why are some countries allowed to split into multiple parts and some aren't?

It's up to them, not a third party that wants it for themselves. Russia trying to take over Ukraine and make it Russia is not the same as Ethiopia and Eritrea deciding to go their separate ways.

The only country in the entire world that has engaged in a war of territorial conquest this century is Russia. And they've done it three times.

That's laughable. They stole trillions of dollars from other countries through murder, rape, slavery, and colonization. Then when there was not much left to take they went back home and continue to live off that compounded stolen money.

The entirety of their museums are stolen artifacts and they are PROUD of it. They parade around their Queen and the "glory" of their Commonwealth and tell other nations they don't believe in returning stolen items.

They are actually the worst. They still believe they were God's gift to the world and they actually made the places they colonized better. They've re-written the history of billions of indigenous people around the world. No remorse, no "learned from the past". And they still had colonized nations until almost 1950.

The territorial expansions since then are simply that-territorial expansion-and the countries doing them are not trying to be perceived as saviors. They're pretty upfront about their wickedness. And you'd be foolish to not realize that the West has had a dirty hand in several of those territorial expansions whenever it suit their desires.

When Ukraine lashed out at Yanukovich for betraying them regarding joining the EU, they threw him out of office. Yanukovich was of course Putin's guy and that meant Putin was losing his grip on Ukraine. In retaliation, Putin sent thousands of mercenaries and provocateurs into Donbas to stage their fake rebellion and independence referendum.

And that is Ukraine's good luck. Actually, it's Ukraine's super good luck that it was Russia that attacked it. If it was attacked by, say, some obscure Eastern European state like Moldova or Montenegro, all it would get would be some phd types on PBS digging up twelfth century battles and historical details of things no one cares about. Also, this program would have the viewership of maybe twelve people, including family members of these phd types. And if it was, like Niger attacking Chad, well not a single white person would care. But since it is Russia, the country the West decided it will hate because it simply refuses to be led, Ukraine is getting pummeled, yes, but it's also getting tons of sympathy points, and once the war is over, it will get tons of aid. So, there is the silver lining. Just like it was Palestinians' good luck to be oppressed by Israel, and not, say, Yemen. Because Arabs oppressed by other Arabs get bubkes by way of Western attention or sympathy.

WTH. People hate Russia because they've got nukes and they threaten to use them.
And they bomb the daylight out of other countries (Syria, anyone?) Nice white washing.

If you're American, you have no grounds to blame other countries for bombing the daylight out of anything, since America does this with abandon.

Russia still beats us at that by a mile. One doesn't have to think of the US as without fault to realize that Russia is top of the class in that regard.

LOL no it doesn't.

Count American and American-led military invasions in the last 20 years. Now count Russia-led ones. Compare two numbers.

Count the casualties in #1. Now count the casualties in #2. Compare two numbers.

Now, count the number of American military bases around the world. Now, count the Russian ones. Compare two numbers.

Why don’t you provide the data? Can’t do math?

Crimea, Donbass, Transnistria, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Nagorno Karabash, Chad, Mali, Central African Republic, Syria.

This year alone theyve threatened to invade the UK, Finland, Poland, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Romania, Bulgaria as well.

But why limit it to 20 years. How many years out of the past 200 has Moscovy been peaceful towards their neighbors?

If we’re going back years then England takes the cake.

Colonizer devils that terrorized worldwide.

Maybe but they've at least learned from their past and reformed. Muscovy and its successor states, the USSR and Russia, just double down on the oppression and aggression each time they change.

The list of countries that have started a war of territorial expansion since WW2 is very small. China with Tibet, Iraq with Kuwait, Indonesia with East Timor, and Russia with Ukraine on multiple occassions as well as Moldova, Georgia, and Azerbaijan.

That's laughable. They stole trillions of dollars from other countries through murder, rape, slavery, and colonization. Then when there was not much left to take they went back home and continue to live off that compounded stolen money.

The entirety of their museums are stolen artifacts and they are PROUD of it. They parade around their Queen and the "glory" of their Commonwealth and tell other nations they don't believe in returning stolen items.

They are actually the worst. They still believe they were God's gift to the world and they actually made the places they colonized better. They've re-written the history of billions of indigenous people around the world. No remorse, no "learned from the past". And they still had colonized nations until almost 1950.

The territorial expansions since then are simply that-territorial expansion-and the countries doing them are not trying to be perceived as saviors. They're pretty upfront about their wickedness. And you'd be foolish to not realize that the West has had a dirty hand in several of those territorial expansions whenever it suit their desires.

“Russia is openly being a dickhead. So, it’s ok!”

Russia has been operating in dozens of countries around the world, training, arming and funding rebel groups, terrorist groups, insurgencies, intended to topple dictatorships and destabilize regions in order to weaken and dilute the west while gaining more power and influence for Russia.

Name those territorial expansions!

I'll give you some freebies:
Israel: Golan Heights and South Lebanon (South Lebanon was given up on)
Indonesia: East Timor (Indonesia gave it up in the 90s)
Iraq: Kuwait (The US and USSR led a coalition that opposed it in the 90s)
Russia: Ossetia
Russia: Crimea
Russia: Ukraine

Why are some countries allowed to split into multiple parts and some aren't?

It's up to them, not a third party that wants it for themselves. Russia trying to take over Ukraine and make it Russia is not the same as Ethiopia and Eritrea deciding to go their separate ways.

The only country in the entire world that has engaged in a war of territorial conquest this century is Russia. And they've done it three times.

Lol I guess Israel gets a pass with a slow crawl across the West Bank? At least Russia is handing out passports like candy in occupied Ukraine unlike Israel, who takes Palestinian land but not Palestinian people

“Russia is openly being a dickhead. So, it’s ok!”

Did I say it was okay?

The post I originally replied to asked "How many years out of the past 200 has Moscovy been peaceful towards their neighbors?"
I stated if we're going back that far it would be England that takes the cake.
The reply I got was "Maybe but they've at least learned from their past and reformed." (I bolded the last part)
The above response was my reply to that. Basically reformed my *ss. And they've still got dirty hands from their geopolitics.

Russia sucks, no worse than England though. And if we're being honest, we're trailing not too far behind them both.

Passports by which to forceably abduct Ukrainian nationals for resettlement and reindoctrination? Putin and his muppets have made no secret of the desire to wipe Ukraine from the face of the earth if they could.
